Crossing Borders, Growing Citizens: Childhood and Nation-building in India
- 7:30 pm
- Zoom
This talk centres around her book, Roop and the River Crossing, as well as the multimedia project Hum Hindustani, on children and citizenship. Through them, she explores the legacy of Partition, and how childhood and nation-building intersect. The talk examines what becomes part of the collective memory of big events like Partition and how we can look at that afresh by including children’s voices and lived experiences to build a more nuanced understanding of both our history and our present.
